Dominic, aka “@buff_catdad” on TikTok , has 3 great passions in his life: bodybuilding, video games and his cats. This resident of Houston, in the state of Texas (United States), actually lives with 6 adorable felines, all from shelters or the streets .
The quadrupeds in question are called Tiger, Caramelo, Scarlet, Fuego and Cowboy. It is the latter that is the subject of the video in which we are interested today.
This cat with a magnificent black dress is the protagonist of this sequence which has gone viral on TikTok< /span>Parade Pets, where it has totaled 2.8 million views since it was put online on November 22, 2023. It is relayed by the site
We see Cowboy as he engages in one of his famous sessions kneading on the sofa, under the eyes of its owner who does his best to imitate it.
While Dominic tries to reproduce the delicate movements of his cat’s paws, the latter emits a few little meows that everyone will interpret in their own way ; where some might see it as a form of encouragement, others would see it, conversely, as a sign of disapproval of the poor performance of their human.
Here is the video:
A tangible complicity
In either case, the scene is particularly amusing and shows how Dominic and Cowboy are accomplices. A special bond that the young man maintains with each of the cats that make up this adorable family.
Coming back to the subject of kneading in cats, remember that this behavior can be displayed for different reasons: to demonstrate well-being, reproduce a ritual acquired from birth, mark its territory, express a need or even adjust its bedding.
